DEI measures may be under threat, but the reality is many workers want jobs at companies that value diversity. Comparably, a platform for salary data and work culture insights, just released its list of the top 100 large companies for diversity. To compile the list, Comparably asked 30,000 employees of color to weigh in on 16 different categories, including satisfaction with leadership, compensation, and career growth opportunities.

The ratings were collected between February 10, 2024 and February 10, 2025. To qualify, large companies had to employ over 500 employees and needed at least 75 employee ratings. (Comparably also published a list of top 25 small-to-midsize companies for diversity.)

It’s worth noting that nearly a quarter of the companies on the list have CEOs of color, including Informatica (led by Amit Walia) and Synopsis (led by Sassine Ghazi). While tech company HubSpot is celebrating its eighth year on the list, other tech giants such as Uber and IBM didn’t make this year. Apple and Meta haven’t been on the list since 2020, and Google and Microsoft last made an appearance on the list in 2021.

Here are the top 25 large companies for diversity, according to Comparably:

  1. Elsevier: New York City, NY
  2. RingCentral: Belmont, CA
  3. Informatica: Redwood City, CA
  4. ADP: Roseland, NJ
  5. Calix: San Jose, CA
  6. Teleperformance: New York City, NY
  7. Esri: Redlands, CA
  8. TaskUs: New Braunfels, TX
  9. LexisNexis Legal & Professional: New York City, NY
  10. Synopsys: Sunnyvale, CA
  11. N-able: Burlington, MA
  12. Arista Networks: Santa Clara, CA
  13. Paycom: Oklahoma City, OK
  14. Squarespace: New York City, NY
  15. Adobe: San Jose, CA
  16. Altametrics: Costa Mesa, CA
  17. Baylor Scott & White Health: Dallas, TX
  18. DataStax: Santa Clara, CA
  19. Elastic: San Francisco, CA
  20. HubSpot: Cambridge, MA
  21. Boston Consulting Group: Boston, MA
  22. Trimble: Westminster, CO
  23. Remitly: Seattle, WA
  24. Sunrun: San Francisco, CA
